Pořádání všeobecných i specializovaných výstav se ke konci devatenáctého století stalo neodmyslitelnou součástí hospodářského a společenského života v řadě menších českých a moravských měst. Po dočasných areálech následovala první stálá výstaviště, a později v meziválečném období se výstavní areály staly běžnou součástí městské vybavenosti. Změna režimu po druhé světové válce československé výstavnictví zásadně poznamenala, což mělo druhotně dopad také na podobu sítě regionálních výstavišť v republice. Další zásadní proměna oboru výstavnictví souvisela v devadesátých letech s rozpadem socialistického bloku, globalizací ekonomiky a nástupem nových komunikačních technologií. V této době docházelo někde k neřízeným a živelným transformacím území a nevratnému ničení nerozpoznaných kulturních hodnot. Budoucí výzkum výstavních areálů by se v oblasti urbanismu měl soustředit na komplexní zmapování prostorového vývoje výstavišť v jednotlivých městech a na způsob jejich ukotvení v územně plánovací dokumentaci. Závěry tohoto výzkumu by pak posloužily jako vodítko pro péči o historické výstavní areály a případně jako podklad pro návrh jejich ochrany. Vzhledem k mezioborovému charakteru výstavnictví by související výzkum měl probíhat také v souvisejících oborech jako hospodářské dějiny, dějiny umění, teorie architektury nebo event management a cestovní ruch., Before the end of nineteenth century universal exhibitions, specialised shows and trade fairs became inherent part of both local economy and social and cultural life in Bohemian and Moravian cities. The temporary exhibition grounds where such events were staged from the beginning were gradually replaced by permanent exhibition grounds, and later in the interwar period, major part of the cities in Czechoslovakia either established permanent exhibition venues, or had at least some place reserved for events. Exhibition venues as well as events themselves were affected by the outbreak of WW II and subsequent change of the regime. Their further development in following decades reflected the realities of centrally planned economy and cultural and social life organised and supervised by state authorities. Then the end of the Cold War brought the collapse of planned economy and outset of liberalisation, which often led to rapid changes in the cities and unrestrained transformations of urban structure, exhibition venues included. Future research pertaining the exhibition grounds should cover their historical development and explain how the exhibition grounds and venues can be described and specified in regional spatial plans and other documents. The outcomes of such research should be of importance to heritage care and protection as well. Regarding the interdisciplinary character of the subject, the research is to be carried also in related fields, e.g. art history, economy history, event management, regional studies and the like.

Terrorism, conflict, and natural disasters. How can architecture respond to a world at odds with itself?On a daily basis we see tragic news about cities around the world that are undergoing trauma. We are exposed to horrific images of shattered buildings destroyed by terrorism, we see coastal areas damaged in floods and mudslides, we see the aftermath of cyclones outbreaks. Through modern technology we are all witnessing the immediate impact and destruction of these types of violent manmade and climatic events.The post-traumatic condition is no longer an exception; it is now the norm. While repair and reconstruction are automatic reflexes of trauma, the disciplines’ knowledge and practices must be imbued with a greater understanding of the impact of trauma on cities and their contingent realities.To be able to heal cities with architecture we must first understand the trauma in context, thus rethinking the role of architecture and urbanism in the modern world.Post-traumatic urbanism necessitates the mobilization of architects’ skills, criticality, and creativity in unfamiliar contexts, but above all, sensitivity.In my thesis I will study post-traumatic architecture and urbanism by using an example of the post-traumatic urban condition of the Halabja massacre, in Kurdistan, northern Iraq in the year 1998. I have chosen this specific trauma because of how it has personally affected me, my family and the city I grew up in. I want to impose my personal experiences with post-traumatic cities in this project while also taking into account other research and studies on the topic, allowing a nuanced perspective on the subject of Post-Traumatic Urbanism.

Rapporten presenterar en analys av Tändsticksområdet i Jönköping ur ett stadsutvecklingsperspektiv, med syfte att lyfta betydelsen av kulturhistoriska miljöer för hållbar utveckling av stadsdelar. Studien utfördes som fallstudie, med intervjuer, observationer och dokumentstudie som datainsamlingstekniker. Data sammanställs i grafiska scheman med analysmetoderna SWOT och Gehl’s tolv kvalitetskriterier. Avgränsningar har skett genom att undersöka ett specifikt, avgränsat geografiskt område och intervju av verksamheter där medverkande varit aktiva på Tändsticksområdet i minst tio år. Utifrån analysen har det visats att Tändsticksområdet är i behov av förändring. Under de senaste tio åren har det inte utförts några stora förändringar och bristande underhåll har lett till förfall av området. Genom SWOT-analysen som sammanställts utifrån intervjuer och observationer har prishöjningar och kommunala prioriteringar konstaterats som hot. Områdets styrkor anses vara dess geografiska placering och byggnadsminnesförklaringen som täcker samtlig bebyggelse. Svagheter som identifierats är den instängda utformningen med murar och bommar. De möjligheter som har identifierats är utveckling av samverkan för att skapa en helhet i området och verksamheterna emellan. Analys baserat på de tolv kvalitetskriterierna visade att de största bristerna i området är kopplat till utformningen av stadsrummet. I områdets urbana miljö ges få möjligheter till att kunna stanna upp och spendera tid utomhus. Det leder till att Tändsticksområdets gator och torg främst nyttjas som passage genom området eller till verksamheterna. De brister som pekats ut stödjs av teori gällande aktiviteter i kulturhistoriska miljöer, kulturhistorisk betydelse och hållbar utveckling av stadsdelar. Studien har visat att kulturhistoria har stor betydelse för invånare och kan inkorporeras i deras vardagliga rörelsemönster genom att skapa fler möjligheter till akti, The report presents an analysis of Tändsticksområdet in Jönköping from a city development perspective, with the purpose to raise the importance of culturally meaningful environments for sustainable development of districts. The study was performed as a case study, with interviews, observations, and a document study as data collection techniques. Data has been gathered in graphic schemes based on the analysis methods SWOT and Gehl’s twelve quality criteria. Boundaries has been set by investigating a specific, limited geographic area and interview of businesses where participants have been active in Tändsticksområdet during a minimum of ten years. Based on the research, it has been shown that Tändsticksområdet needs change. In the last ten years, no major changes have been executed and lack of maintenance has led to a disrepair of the area. Through the SWOT analysis compiled from interviews and observations, price increases and municipal priorities have been identified as threats. The area's strengths are its geographical location and the “building heritage declaration” that covers all buildings. Weaknesses identified are the enclosing formation with walls and traffic barriers. The opportunities that have been identified are developed of cooperation to create ensemble in the area and between the businesses. Analysis based on the twelve quality criteria showed that the biggest deficiencies in the area are linked to the inadequate design of the urban space. In the area's urban environment, there are few opportunities to stop and spend time outdoors. This leads to that Tändsticksområdets streets and squares are primarily used as passages through the area or to the businesses. The shortcomings that have been pointed out, are supported by theory regarding activities in cultural-historical environments, cultural historical significance, and sustainable development of city districts. The study has shown that cultural history is of great importance to inhabitants an

Práce se zabývá městem Kopidlnem a jeho historií především jeho vznikem a následným vývojem před písemnými prameny. Základem práce se stávají nálezové zprávy a depot ze záchranného archeologického výzkumu. Výzkumy byly provedeny v roce 2019 v ulici Jičínská a další téhož roku při, ´´Revitalizaci Hilmarova náměstí Kopidlno - chodník č.1´´. Cílem bylo vyhodnocení získaného materiálu. Na základě vyhodnocených situací ze záchranných archeologických výzkumů se pokusím sestavit chronologickou tabulku keramických tříd a pokusím se nastínit vývoj Kopidlna v raném a vrcholném středověku. Budu se snažit tyto poznatky dále porovnat s jinými podobnými městy z blízkého okolí a celého regionu východních Čech., The work focuses on the town of Kopidlno and its history, primarily its origins and subsequent development before written sources. The foundation of the work relies on the discovery reports and findings from the salvage archaeological excavations. The research was conducted in 2019 in Jičínská Street and later that same year during the "Revitalization of Hilmarovo Square Kopidlno - Sidewalk No. 1" project. The aim was to evaluate the acquired material. Based on the assessed situations from the salvage archaeological excavations, I will attempt to create a chronological table of ceramic classes and outline the development of Kopidlno in the early and high Middle Ages. I will endeavor to compare these findings with other similar towns in the vicinity and the entire region of Eastern Bohemia., Fakulta filozofická, V úvodu studentka představila téma své práce, popsala zvolenou metodiku, postup prací a výsledky, k nimiž dospěla.

The inspiration for this paper came from a walk in Warsaw, Poland - a city that has a very unusual development pattern and owes its character largely to the last 75 years. The visible differences in development patterns occur in almost every neighbourhood and each of them is the result of a different conceptual approach, additionally shaped by the regulations and economic prosperity of the time. This has inspired to further analyse the social structures of these spaces and explore the factors that determine the appearance and characteristics of the different neighbourhoods. The aim of this study is to get acquainted with spatial differentiation and explain the internal structure of the city of Warsaw, to define what social, economic and developmental processes have led to the current spatial-social structure of the city and to determine what potential processes may occur in the space depending on the identified conditions. The research method used for this study is factor analysis, which is an inductive tool used to analyse the relationships between a variety of social, economic, demographic, and housing characteristics in the city of Warsaw. Its aim is to determine what, if and what common patterns exist in the studied subject.

Hur kan ett nytt konstmuseum i Amiralsstaden bli en generator för stadens framtida utveckling? Mitt intresse att angripa denna fråga har uppstått i ett debattklimat där inblandade aktörer argumenterar för sina respektive ståndpunkter i lokaliseringsfrågan, men där avsaknad av konkreta visioner gjort att diskussionen nått en återvändsgränd. Med detta examensarbete vill jag med hjälp de verktyg och arbetsprocesser jag utvecklat under min utbildning tillföra ett konkret och nyanserat inlägg i debatten om Malmö konstmuseums framtid. Arbetet ger läsaren den bakgrund som krävs för att förstå det samhällsklimat som diskussionen om Malmö konstmuseums framtid förs i. En dialog som utgick från konkreta lokalbehov har lett till en intensiv debatt om lokalisering, en utveckling som lyft frågan om museets framtid från en lokalfråga för museets verksamhet och samlingar till ett potentiellt identitets- och utvecklingsprojekt för hela staden. En översikt över museets typologiska utveckling genom historien leder till en diskussion om hur det sociala museet kan bidra till att forma framtidens hållbara städer. Examensarbetets gestaltningsförslag blir ett diskussionsunderlag för hur ett museum i Amiralsstaden, genom att ta till vara på platsens unika egenskaper, kan tillföra nya värden för staden och dess invånare. Förslaget är mitt bidrag till den debatt om konstmuseets framtid som pågått sedan 1980-talet. Med en genomtänkt lokalisering och en arkitektur som arkitektur som växer lokalt ur sin naturliga och kulturella kontext har den nya byggnaden stor potential att i framtiden bättre stödja museets verksamhet. Med Malmös nya konstmuseum kan malmöborna äntligen få tillgång till stadens unika samling i en vacker, väl anpassad museibyggnad. Vid sidan om att erbjuda adekvata lokaler för verksamheten kan museet även bli en viktigt generator i Amiralsstadens fortsatta utveckling. I symbios med de stadsbyggnadsprocesser som just nu drivs i området kan museet spela en central roll i staden. G, How can a new art museum in Amiralsstaden become a generator for city development? My interest in tackling this issue begun in a debate where stakeholders argue for their respective positions on the issue of location, but where the lack of concrete visions has led to the discussion reaching a dead end. In this thesis, I intend to utilize the tools and processes developed during my studies to make a concrete and nuanced contribution to the debate about Malmö Art Museum’s future. This thesis provides the reader with background needed to understand the social climate in which the discussion about Malmö Art Museum’s future is taking place. A dialogue based on the question of functional needs has now led to an intense debate about location, a development that raises the issue of the museum’s future from a local issue to a potential identity and development project for the entire city. An overview of the museum’s typological development throughout history leads to a discussion on how the social museum can contribute to shape the sustainable cities of the future. The design proposal in my thesis will form the basis for discussion on how a museum in Amiralsstaden, by taking advantage of the site’s unique features, can add new values to the city and its inhabitants. The proposal is my contribution to the debate about the art museum’s future that has been ongoing since the 1980s. With a well-thought-out location and an architecture that emerges locally from its natural and cultural context, the new building has great potential to better support the museum’s activities in the future. With Malmö’s new art museum, inhabitants of Malmö can finally get access to the city’s unique collection in a beautiful, well-adapted building. In addition to offering adequate facilities to suit the operation of the museum, a new art institution can also become an important generator in Amiralsstaden’s continuing development. In symbiosis with other urban planning processes that are currently und

Greenery and water create ecosystem services that are particularly important in cities, where these areas can be limited. It is therefore important that greenery and water are well incorporated in the planning stage of city development. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biotope area factor of six different apartment courtyards that were a part of the housing fair Bo01 in Malmö, Sweden. The area of different greenery and water structures on the courtyards were measured based on digitization using ArcGIS Pro and measurements done in the field. The current biotope area factor was then calculated following the same method that was used when Bo01 was developed. The current biotope area factors were then compared to the biotope area factors indicated in the building permits and the factors calculated in an evaluation done on several courtyards at Bo01 from the year 2002. The results show that the biotope area factor has declined on all courtyards in relation to the values given in both the building permits and the evaluation. Green walls, green roofs, water surfaces and surfaces with gravel are structures that have decreased. Hard surfaces and surfaces with stone tiles are structures that have increased. The loss of greenery and water could be a result of a lack of knowledge on maintenance or that unsatisfactory growing environments for the plants were not considered in planning. This study can be used by municipalities or city planners who want to use the biotope area factor in future developments., En krossad vision? Efter 20 år - mindre grönytor på Bo01 På Bo01 planerades en ekologiskt hållbar stadsdel med mycket grönska och vatten. Stor vikt lades vid att planera innergårdarna för att få plats med så mycket gröna områden som möjligt. Idag har dock både mängden grönska och mängden vatten på gårdarna minskat. Vad kan det bero på? En stad utan grönska och vatten ger en sämre livskvalitet. Parker, träd, gröna innergårdar och vatten behövs för vår hälsa och vårt välbefinnande men gröna och blå strukturer bidrar också till en ökad biologisk mångfald samt till att ta hand om dagvatten. Den här studien har utvärderat olika typer av grönska och vatten på bostadsgårdar på Bo01 i Västra Hamnen i Malmö. Studien visar att både grönskan och vattenytorna idag är mindre på alla gårdar som undersöktes, jämfört med hur stora de skulle vara enligt byggloven. Så vad har hänt med dessa strukturer? De hårdgjorda ytorna har tagit plats från grönskan och vattenytorna. Det är framför allt den vertikala grönskan - gröna väggar och klätterväxter, samt vattenytor som saknas. Även de gröna taken har minskat i storlek. Strukturer som däremot har blivit större är takytor samt ytor belagda med marksten eller plattor. En oväntad utveckling var att även de stora träden har blivit färre, vilket vid första anblick kan verka lite konstigt med tanke på att det har gått många år sedan området byggdes. Detta har dock att göra med att träden antingen har blivit sjuka eller haft ett begränsat utrymme att växa på, vilket har gjort att de inte har överlevt. När Bo01 byggdes år 2001 låg ett stort fokus på att skapa en ekologiskt hållbar stadsdel och en del i detta var just ett ökat fokus på grönskan på innergårdarna. För första gången användes en metod för att se till att så mycket grönska och vatten planerades in på gårdarna som möjligt, den så kallade grönytefaktorn. Eftersom Bo01 introducerade grönytefaktorn i Sverige är det av intresse att undersöka om faktorn har förändrats på de 20 år som har gåt

The article presents the results of studies of the youth of the city of Ekaterinburg. A very low level of youth activity was noted, with a relatively high degree of readiness for such participation. The current contradiction and the non-use of youth services is associated with insufficient information about the activities of local and municipal government bodies and the comprehensive project «Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment»., В статье приводятся результаты авторского исследования молодежи города Екатеринбурга на предмет ее участия в формировании и развитии городской среды. Отмечен очень низкий уровень активности молодежи при относительно высокой готовности к такому участию. Сложившееся противоречие и недоиспользование потенциала молодежи связано с недостаточной информированностью о деятельности органов власти местного и муниципального управления и реализуемом проекте «Формирование комфортной городской среды».

Till följd av covid-19 pandemin har många stadskärnor drabbats av stora omsättningsförluster inäringslivet. Kommunen och verksamheterna som utgör stadskärnan står idag inför stora utmaningar,men också inför eventuella möjligheter. Denna uppsats syftar till att belysa hur samverkansrelationer inomstadsutvecklingsarbetet kan agera som beredskap i kriser samt vilka utvecklingsmöjligheter som krisen gerupphov till. Studien görs på tre stadskärnor med varierande grad av samverkan: Kalmar, Ronneby och Visby.Resultaten visade överväldigande tydligt att samarbete mellan kommun, näringsliv samt fastighetsägare istaden upplevs som en form av beredskap. Det är därmed ytterst viktigt att satsa på att skapa godasamverkansrelationer inom staden i goda tider för att skapa förutsättningar för effektiv krishantering. Studien har funnit att det finns vissa framgångsfaktorer som är angelägna för en stadskärna att beakta i sinutveckling. Dessa är vikten av förtroende mellan aktörer och personer, etablerade kommunikationsvägarsamt långsiktig och strategisk planering för stärkt efterfrågan. Dessa element understödjer en florerandestadskärneutveckling men också god krishantering., As a result of the covid-19 pandemic, many cities have been hit by large turnover losses in business. Themunicipality and the businesses that make up the city center today face major challenges, but alsopotential opportunities. This thesis aims to shed light on how collaborative relationships within urbandevelopment work can act as emergency preparedness in crises as well as what development opportunitiesthe crisis creates. The study is conducted at three city centers with varying degrees of collaboration: Kalmar, Ronneby andVisby. The results pointed overwhelmingly towards that collaboration between the municipality, businessand property owners in the city is perceived as a form of preparedness. It is therefore of utmostimportance to invest in creating good collaboration relationships within the city in good times to createthe conditions for effective crisis management. The study has found that there are certain success factors that are important for a city center to considerin its development. These are the importance of trust between functions and people, establishedcommunication paths and long-term strategic planning for increased demand. These elements support athriving urban development, but also good crisis management.

The aim of this dissertation was to research, through a comparative architectural analysis,whether the two urban districts Camden Town in north London and Greater Grand Crossing in south Chicago have or have not been gentrified and, if so, what kind of gentrification process they have gone through. The study was based on three questions: what buildings have been transformed in each area? How have the buildings been transformed? Have the functionsof the city districts been transformed with any particular focus in mind? The study found that Camden Town has been tourist gentrified, since the primary focus of the gentrification process was towards tourism and entertainment businesses where old Victorian, industrial buildings were transformed into venues for live music, shops and markets. In the case of Greater Grand Crossing however, it is not possible to establish that the area has been gentrified. Chicagoan artist Theaster Gates transformed several residential houses as part of a project, some of which remained residential, and some were made into spaces for cultural activities. However, the focus of the transformation was towards the already existing population and not towards potential gentrifiers.

It is therefore of utmostimportance to invest in creating good collaboration relationships within the city in good times to createthe conditions for effective crisis management. The study has found that there are certain success factors that are important for a city center to considerin its development. These are the importance of trust between functions and people, establishedcommunication paths and long-term strategic planning for increased demand. These elements support athriving urban development, but also good crisis management.

Past urban planning practices for embassy buildings have largely been indifferent to environments and the context of cities, oftentimes causing negative effects on the urban matrix. Implementing a more open, transparent building process for its diplomatic outposts overseas, Japan has managed to contribute to overall city development, quality of its public spaces and the image it holds in host countries. These processes will be examined and findings elaborated for the new Japanese embassy in Belgrade, Serbia, how utilizing such methodology presents an improvement, in engineering and urban planning terms, as well as a new method of cultural sustainability.

As the world-economy becomes increasingly competitive, places adopt different methods to elevate their attractiveness. The paper examines how two medium-sized Swedish cities, Uppsala and Västerås, develop their own competitiveness, identities, and images in relation to the principles and concepts laid out by Simon Anholt in his book Competitive identity: The New Brand Management for Nations, Cities and Regions (2007). A qualitative approach to textual analysis is employed to gather the necessary research material to draw conclusions from, in addition to taking a theory-consuming perspective in order to limit the study’s generalization. The study adds to the field of city branding by analyzing real-life places using a conceptual framework, providing insight into the practical application of a theoretical model. The results show that Uppsala is trying to elevate itself to the international stage, while Västerås is remaking its identity almost completely. Uppsala must remember the city’s prerequisites and should look to Västerås for expertise regarding the railway sector. It is imperative that Västerås improves its innovative environments, while looking to Uppsala for knowledge of how to integrate innovative cultures in all sectors of society. Both cities are heavily dependent on their proximity to Stockholm, with Uppsala beginning to question their position.

City Brand is an identity, symbol, logo, or merk of a particular city which has aimed to look for the specialty of certain city. The specialty of city is used as a society product to attract tourists, investors, residents, and talented people. Thus, the objectives of this study is try to determine the positioning and making the city branding in Bangkalan, East Java, Indonesia. The expected target is the improvement of society awareness toward tourism object and the renovation of tourism object in Bangkalan. Furthermore, this study is conducted for 3 years started with the collection of primary data. This primary data will be the material of analysis in the second year. The results of the previous analysis will be the basis for the implementation of the third-year study. In addition, this study is also used survey, field research, interview with some elements of society, investigate the real condition of tourist destination and tourism stakeholders in Bangkalan. Afterwards, the result of this study shows the lack of readiness from the government in mapping the area and the concept of tourism in Bangkalan. Moreover, the society awareness to maintain the security and comfort of tourism place are also an obstacle to create city branding in Bangkalan. But religious tourism can be developed as proper as the jargon of Bangkalan itself., City Brand é uma identidade, símbolo, logotipo ou merk de uma determinada cidade que tem como objetivo procurar a especialidade de determinada cidade. A especialidade da cidade é usada como um produto da sociedade para atrair turistas, investidores, moradores e pessoas talentosas. Assim, os objetivos deste estudo são tentar determinar o posicionamento e fazer a marca da cidade em Bangkalan, East Java, Indonésia. A meta esperada é a melhoria da conscientização da sociedade em relação ao objeto turístico e a renovação do objeto turístico em Bangkalan. Além disso, este estudo é realizado por 3 anos começou com a coleta de dados primários. Estes dados primários serão o material de análise no segundo ano. Os resultados da análise anterior serão a base para a implementação do estudo do terceiro ano. Além disso, este estudo também é usado pesquisa, pesquisa de campo, entrevista com alguns elementos da sociedade, investigar a condição real do destino turístico e as partes interessadas do turismo em Bangkalan. Posteriormente, o resultado deste estudo mostra a falta de prontidão do governo em mapear a área e o conceito de turismo em Bangkalan. Além disso, a conscientização da sociedade para manter a segurança e o conforto do turismo é também um obstáculo para a criação de marcas urbanas em Bangkalan. Mas o turismo religioso pode ser desenvolvido como o jargão da própria Bangkalan., City Brand es una identidad, símbolo, logotipo o imagen de una ciudad en particular cuyo objetivo es buscar la especialidad de cierta ciudad. La especialidad de la ciudad se utiliza como producto de la sociedad para atraer turistas, inversores, residentes y personas con talento. Por lo tanto, los objetivos de este estudio son tratar de determinar el posicionamiento y hacer la marca de la ciudad en Bangkalan, Java Oriental, Indonesia. El objetivo esperado es la mejora de la conciencia de la sociedad hacia el objeto turístico y la renovación del objeto turístico en Bangkalan. Además, este estudio se lleva a cabo durante 3 años comenzando con la recopilación de datos primarios. Estos datos primarios serán el material de análisis en el segundo año. Los resultados del análisis anterior serán la base para la implementación del estudio de tercer año. Además, este estudio también se utiliza encuesta, investigación de campo, entrevista con algunos elementos de la sociedad, investigar la condición real de los destinos turísticos y las partes interesadas del turismo en Bangkalan. Posteriormente, el resultado de este estudio muestra la falta de preparación del gobierno para mapear el área y el concepto de turismo en Bangkalan. Además, la conciencia de la sociedad para mantener la seguridad y la comodidad del lugar turístico también es un obstáculo para crear la marca de la ciudad en Bangkalan. Pero el turismo religioso puede desarrollarse tan propiamente como la jerga de Bangkalan.

Modern youth is subject to the influence of numerous trends, conditioned by fashion trends, the spread of marketing strategies of enterprises, the activities of various social and political associations. The author considers the problem of forming a civic position of a young urban citizen as an actualized search for personal self-realization in conditions of intensive information exchange and a large volume of virtual communications. The author notes that the modern citizen lives on the junction of real and virtual interactions, in the general mass of which the role of the latter increases its significance not only in the framework of education, but also in the sphere of feedback with organizations, enterprises and the sphere of state support. The actualization of the problem of self-identification of young people with the city appeared in the stable trends of mass outflow of the population from rural settlements, small towns, and also peripheral regions towards the capital regions. The need to increase the civic activity of urban youth in the author’s presentation is due to the tasks of developing the subject-object position of the population in relation to the region of residence. The article presents data of the content analysis of virtual communities devoted to the development and current events of city life. According to the results of the study, the author notes the criminalization of news reports, as well as the shortcomings in the timely submission of information to citizens. Evaluation of the structure of ads and motivating posts related to sympathy for a particular city made it possible to come to the conclusion that the formation of socially active behavior of citizens is largely oriented towards the leisure city complex, while much less attention is paid to active participation in city life. The threat of this trend is seen in the formation of the orientation of young people to the leisure attractions of individual regions., Современная молодежь подвержена влиянию многочисленных тенденций, обусловленных веяниями моды, распространением маркетинговых стратегий предприятий, деятельностью различных социальных и политических объединений. Проблема формирования гражданской позиции молодого горожанина рассматривается автором как актуализированный поиск самореализации личности в условиях интенсивного информационного обмена и большого объема виртуальных коммуникаций. Автор отмечает, что современный горожанин проживает на стыке реальных и виртуальных интеракций, в общей массе которых роль последних увеличивает свою значимость не только в рамках просвещения, но и в сфере обратной связи с организациями, предприятиями и сферой государственного обеспечения. Актуализация проблемы самоидентификации молодежи с городом появилась в устойчивых тенденциях массового оттока населения из сельских поселений, малых городов, а также периферийных районов в сторону столичных регионов. Необходимость повышения гражданской активности городской молодежи в представлении автора обусловлена задачами развития субъект-объектной позиции населения в отношении региона проживания. В статье приведены данные контент-анализа виртуальных сообществ, посвященных развитию и текущим событиям городской жизни. По результатам исследования автор отмечает криминализацию новостных сводок, а также недостатки своевременности подачи информации горожанам. Оценка структуры объявлений и мотивирующих постов, связанных с симпатиями к конкретному городу, позволила прийти к выводу, что формирование социально-активного поведения граждан во многом ориентировано на досуговый городской комплекс, в то время как деятельному участию в жизни города уделяется значительно меньше внимания. Угроза данной тенденции рассматривается в формировании ориентации молодежи на досуговую привлекательность отдельных регионов.

Sustainable land use and integrative, comprehensive, and implementable master planning remain some of the most important aspects of sustainable urban planning today. At the same time, one of the most challenging tasks for the cities of developing countries is managing informal city growth. Bearing in mind these conditions and challenges, significant both in theory and in practice, the chapter focuses on their mutual influence and impacts in international and Western Balkans context, as well as in the Serbian capital. The aim of the review is to bring attention to the actual problem of unregulated informal settlements in Serbia and Belgrade, while suggesting the means and measures for its treatment within sustainable land use planning. The chapter gives insight into the importance, actuality, and general characteristics and challenges of sustainable land use planning, as well as the general overview of the growing informal settlements in developing countries and in the Western Balkans. The core of the research describes the main characteristics of Belgrade’s land use planning on the one hand, and the growth of informal settlements on the other, seen as parallel, sometimes excluding, sometimes supporting processes, over the last four decades and their impact on the city development. The chapter concludes by offering the answers to the following research questions: what is the relation between the informal city growth and land use/master planning? What kind of effects do unregulated developments have on land use and master planning and vice versa? Finally – what are the feasible, sustainable solutions within the contexts of both Belgrade and Serbia?

The purpose of this Gap Analysis is to identify challenges and opportunities for agencies in San Diego to better manage stormwater with climate-smart strategies. In this report, ‘climate smart’ refers to a stormwater tactic that increases a system’s resiliency to both extreme dry and wet season flows while also enhancing local communities, businesses, and/or natural resources. This project was designed to meet three objectives. The first was to develop an understanding of how public agencies around the country and specifically in San Diego are currently designing and implementing stormwater projects capable of handling more climate variability. In particular, the report focuses on the use of green infrastructure techniques. The second objective was to identify challenges that agencies in San Diego face when implementing these types of ‘climate-smart’ stormwater management strategies. ‘Challenges’ include barriers to stormwater strategies at all levels of implementation from concept to construction to ongoing maintenance. The final goal was to address these challenges by identifying Best Practices within San Diego and other regions throughout the United States that could be leveraged to help our region advance sustainable stormwater management strategies. ‘Best Practices’ include examples where San Diego is addressing certain challenges by applying creative solutions that can be further developed and standardized. The final conclusions of this report are meant to be shared among jurisdictions throughout San Diego County and to serve as a guide for taking advantage of current low hanging opportunities for improving stormwater management.

Time-spatial dynamics illustrates a change of significant spatial patterns in time. These analyses help to identify spatial associations pointing at socio-spatial distribution. Reflecting important demographic changes during last decades a specific feedback of politicians is expected as a result of ongoing suburbanization process. Confirmed spatial autocorrelation among examined demographic variables approved to use a set of spatial statistic tools distinguishing the change between inner core and the periphery within Brno metropolitan area (BMA). In fact, Moran´s I criterion indicating the intensity of autocorrelation and Getis-Ord Gi* statistic generating hot spots and cold spots were applied. According to results it is clear that the city of Brno lost between 2001 and 2011 its population dominance. The age structure correlates with suburbanization process. It was also proved that spatial associations of indicators dealing with age structure, level of education and employment were detected in the periphery of BMA, especially in southern area the rise of population in productive age group, low level of education and high unemployment in agricultural sector is significant.

The first part of the thesis establishes a link between medieval trade, agglomeration and contemporary regional development in ten European countries. It documents a significant positive relationship between involvement in medieval trade and regional economic development today. The analysis indicates that a long-lasting effect of medieval trade on contemporary regional development is transmitted via its effect on agglomeration and industry concentration. Further empirical analyses show that medieval trade positively influenced city development both during the medieval period and in the long run; they also reveal a robust connection between medieval city growth and contemporary regional agglomeration and industry concentration. This research highlights the long-run importance of medieval trade in shaping the development of cities as well as the contemporary spatial distribution of economic activity throughout Europe. Next, a new city-level data set on political institutions in pre-modern Europe is introduced. It comprises of three variables reporting the prevalence of the different existing types of participative political institutions between 800 and 1800 AD in 104 cities in the Holy Roman Empire. According to historical studies, the three included measures (guild participation in the city council, participative election procedures and the existence of institutionalized burgher representation) represent the universe of political institutions in cities in this era. Based on this data, the next chapter of the thesis investigates the origins of guild revolts and participation in the government of late medieval central European cities. It finds that structural factors, i.e. the prosperity of proto-industry and exogenous events like the agricultural crisis were factors triggering the revolts. Medieval trade cities had a lower probability of guild participation indicating that not economic prosperity per se is decisive but rather that formerly poor groups of citizens like, Der erste Teil der Arbeit zeigt, dass mittelalterlicher Handel durch seinen positiven Einfluss auf Agglomeration und Industriekonzentrationsmuster in 10 Mitteleuropäischen Ländern einen persistenten Einfluss auf die regionale wirtschaftliche Entwicklung hatte. Dies bedeutet, dass mittelalterliche Handelsstädte auch heute noch reicher und größer sind als nicht-Handelsstädte. Kapitel 3 führt einen neuen Datensatz zu den politischen Institutionen in 104 Städten des Heiligen Römischen Reiches (HRR) ein. Kapitel 4 beleuchtet empirisch, basierend auf der historischen Debatte, die Ursachen der spätmittelalterlichen Zunftaufstände in den Städten des HRR. Es zeigt sich, dass vor allem in den Zentren der Proto-Industrie solche Revolten auftraten, allerdings spielte auch die spätmittelalterliche Agrarkrise und die Pest eine Rolle. Letztere Ereignisse führten zu einer Landflucht, welche zu Konflikten innerhalb der Städte führte. Kapitel 5 beschäftigt sich mit den Auswirkungen der unterschiedlichen politischen Institutionen in den Städten auf das langfristige Stadtwachstum. Es stellt sich heraus, dass Städte mit partizipativeren Institutionen sich nicht per se besser entwickelt haben. Die Beteiligung der Zünfte am Stadtregiment hatte beispielsweise nur sehr kurzfristig einen positiven Effekt, langrfristig war der Effekt der Zunftbeteiligung insignifikant oder sogar negativ, was einen Rückschluss auf etwaige Prozesse institutioneller Sklerose erlaubt. Die Einführung von Wahlen des Stadtrats bzw. des Bürgermeisters durch Teile der Bürgerschaft allerdings, hatte sehr wohl langfristige positive Effekte. Dies zeigt, dass es vor allem checks-and-balances und nicht so sehr die Ausweitung der politischen Partizipation per se gewesen ist, welche entscheidend war.

År 2021 fyller Göteborg 400 år och det lockar många byggare att bli klara jubileumsåret till ära, inte minst väntas ca 30 000 nya bostäder. Frågan är var medborgarna kommer in i denna planeringsprocess och vad det finns för strukturella möjligheter för dialog där medborgare får säga sitt. Det uppsatsen syftar på är att belysa hur planeringsprocessen ser ut inom byggnation, och vilka möjligheter som ges till medborgardialog. Uppsatsen går igenom planeringsprocessens olika delar, från idé till spadtag, och vilka aktörer som kan tänkas vara med i denna process. När det kommer till medborgardialog står principer och policys i fokus, men går också igenom vilka resurser och utbildningsbehov som finns för dialogarbeten. Med utgångspunkt i en offentlighetsteori av Jürgen Habermas granskas litterärt material från flertalet kommunala källor, bl.a. Göteborgs Stad, Boverket och Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting. Komplement till detta är 3 intervjuer, dessa om medborgardialog, samarbete mellan olika kompetenser och förhållningsregler inom arbetet., During the year of 2021 the city of Gothenburg turns 400 years and it attracts many contractors to finish then in honor of the anniversary, not at least to be expected is 30,000 new homes. The question is where the citizens come into the planning procedure. This bachelor’s thesis aim is to explore what the planning process looks like during construction and what the structural possibilities are for public dialog. The thesis goes through the different parts of the planning procedure, from concept to groundbreaking, and who that might be a part of this process. When it comes to public dialog the focus is on principals and policies, but also goes through what the needs are for education and current resources around working with dialog. Based on Jürgen Habermas theory on the Public sphere literary materials are examined, mostly from municipal sources, including City of Gothenburg, National Board of Housing and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions. Complementing this are three interviews, these with focus on public dialog, cooperation between various competencies and conduct of the working process., Stadsplanering, Inflytande och Medborgardialog

Great Cultural Projects (GCPs) have a multi‐layer influence on the development of cities, their socio‐economic situation, functional‐spatial structure, tourist attractions as well as their environment quality. The article focuses on the comparison between different types of the GCPs (including: world and international exhibitions, gardening exhibitions, Olympic Games and equally prestigious projects by the European Capitals of Culture) and the role they have played in the development of the cities. The research covered 183 GCPs organized from the 19th till the beginning of the 21st century. GCPs have acted as a catalyst for the development of new districts and the regeneration of degraded areas which resulted not only in creating numerous architectural icons and new city image but also in the social awareness raising and global education. The opportunities as well as the threats of GCPs are closely connected with the GCP type, so the choice of the appropriate GCP can be a tool for the realization of the strategic plans of the city. The aim of the work is to define potential transformation possibilities which each of the GCP has to offer., Los Grandes Proyectos Culturales (GPC) influyen en el desarrollo urbano multidimensional, en su situación socioeconómica, en la estructura funcional del espacio, en atracciones turísticas, así como en la calidad de medio ambiente. El artículo se centra en la comparación entre los diferentes tipos de los GCP (incluyendo: exposiciones mundiales e internacionales, exposiciones de horticultura, juegos olímpicos y los prestigiosos proyectos de la Capital Europea de la Cultura) y el papel que han desempeñado en el desarrollo de las ciudades. La investigación incluye 183 GPC organizados desde el siglo XIX hasta el comienzo del siglo XXI. Los GPC han actuado como catalizadores para el desarrollo de nuevos barrios y la regeneración de áreas degradadas que se ha traducido no solo en la creación de numerosos iconos arquitectónicos y una nueva imagen de la ciudad sino también en la sensibilización social y la educación global. Las oportunidades, así como las amenazas para los GPC están estrechamente relacionadas con el tipo de proyecto, por lo que la elección apropiada del tipo de GPC y su ubicación puede con‐ tribuir en acelerar la realización de los objetivos estratégicos de la ciudad. El objeto del estudio ha sido la definición de las posibilidades de transformación que potencialmente tiene cada uno de los tipos de GPC analizados.

The practicum examines the impact of the physical layout of cities on the way we perceive them. In particular it examines the influence of natural, social, and built elements in perception of the downtown core of Winnipeg. It goes on to propose an urban design strategy for the downtown core, supported by supplementary urban design guidelines.

Municipal wastewater contains a lot of compounds that could be seen as resources. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are common ingredients in fertilizers and can all be found in wastewater. Nowadays only a small part of the nutrients found in wastewater are used on arable land. Urine contains the most of the nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium secreted by humans. Source separation of urine is a way to facilitate recovery of nutrients in wastewater and to lower the load on existing wastewater treatment plants. Fresh urine contains urea which may undergo ureolysis and form ammonia during storage. In order to prevent ammonia volatilization during further treatment such as volume reduction, urine needs to be stabilized. One method for stabilization of urine is nitrification. Nitrification is a biological process performed in two steps. In the first step, ammonia is oxidized to nitrous acid by ammonia oxidizing bacteria. This oxidation lowers the pH, which prevents ammonia from vaporizing. The second step is performed by nitrite oxidizing bacteria which oxidize nitrite to nitrate. Since ammonia and not ammonium is the substrate for the ammonia oxidizing bacteria only a part of the ammonia will be oxidized as pH drops. Ammonia and nitrate are common compounds in fertilizers. In 2025, the housing area Sege Park in the city of Malmö should function as an example for sustainable city development. One goal is that the area should accommodate at least one test facility for source separation of urine. Before the construction of the facility can begin VA SYD, the regional water and sewer organisation, wants to investigate different volume reduction methods. Because ammonia may vaporize during volume reduction, they also want to investigate different stabilization methods. The purpose of this work was to study the start-up process of a nitrification reactor for stabilization of urine. A bench-scale moving bed biofilm reactor was run for 57 days. The highest nitrification rate mea, Stabilisering av urin för återanvändning av näringsämnen I naturen finns kretslopp för näringsämnen. När människan via avloppsvattenreningsverk släpper ut näringsämnen i vattendrag eller i luften bryts kretsloppen. För att bli en del av de naturliga kretsloppen behöver näringsämnena som människan avger återföras till jorden. Av: Marianne Olofsson Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av masteruppsatsen: Stabilization of Urine by Nitrification in a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor Dagens avloppsvattenreningsverk kan inte avskilja alla näringsämnen i avloppsvatten fullständigt, och en del av dem släpps ut i vattendrag eller i luften. För att minska belastningen på avloppsvattenreningsverk och återföra en stor del av näringsämnena till jordbruket kan urin separeras och behandlas separat. Separeringen kan ske med en toalett med två avlopp, i vilken urinen aldrig blandas med resten av avföringen. Urin innehåller en kväveförening som kallas urea. När urea kommer i kontakt med ett naturligt förekommande enzym som kan bryta ner urea omvandlas urean till ammoniak. Ammoniak är en flyktig förening som luktar fränt. För att undvika att ammoniak avges från urinen behöver urinen stabiliseras. I jord finns bakterier som kan omvandla ammoniak till nitrat, genom att byta ut väteatomerna i ammoniak mot syreatomer. Samma typ av bakterier har man kunnat få att växa på specialutformade plastbitar, kallade rörligt bärarmaterial. Dessa bärare kan användas vid avloppsvattenrening. Koncentrationen av kväveföreningar i urin är mycket högre än den i vanligt avloppsvatten. Bakterier på plastbärare som tidigare behandlat vanligt avloppsvatten kan därför behöva tid på sig att vänja sig vid de höga kvävekoncentrationerna i urin. Syftet med det här arbetet var att studera uppstarten av en reaktor för stabilisering av urin. Uppstarten skedde genom att utspädd urin pumpades in till en reaktor med plastbärare. Allt eftersom tiden gick ökades andelen urin i inflödet och kvävekoncentrationen blev högre. Två gån

This thesis explores the contemporary urban recreation and its use as a tool for urban development. Based on integrative capacity of recreation as an urban activity, the aim of the research was to examine possibilities to use this asset in development of Serbian cities. Since the existing concept of recreation development in Serbia doesn‟t acknowledge its possible use as a tool for urban development, thesis aims to redefine the concept of recreation so that it can be implemented in Serbian context. For that reason the research was organized on two levels. At the first level the integrative role of recreation was examined through research in urban theory and in the fields of psychology, sociology and geography of leisure. Integrative capacity of urban recreation was defined through concepts of leisure experience, encounter and practice and as such operationalized as fluid, focal and porous integrative practice. Different possibilities for activating integrative potential of urban recreation were identified for autonomous and integrated forms of urban recreation. The occurrence and spreading of the phenomena of integrated recreation is then explained and its integrative capacity explored through comparative analysis of eight concepts of development through recreation: „city of fun“, „fantasy city, „tourist city“, „experience city“, „city of play“, „healthy/active city“, „green city“ and „creative city“. The aim was to identify possibilities and constraints of each mode of urban development. The characteristics of each concept of development through recreation were mapped on hypothetical model of contemporary city so that a new „landscape of integrated recreation“ can be identified. The results have proved that various developent paths enabled recreation to function as an integrative tool for urban development at different levels, in various forms and on many locations in the city.

Овај феномен је резултат укључивања рекреације у различите процесе производње простора. Реч је о процесима који, поред традиционалних нормативно-дистрибутивних политика развоја рекреације у јавном сектору, реализују рекреативне садржаје и просторе у савременом граду као средство развоја града. Циљ овог истраживања је био да утврди основе и испита могућности коришћења рекреације као средства повезивања урбане структуре, као и да омогући примену стечених знања у усмеравању развоја градова Србије.

Based on integrative capacity of recreation as an urban activity, the aim of the research was to examine possibilities to use this asset in development of Serbian cities. Since the existing concept of recreation development in Serbia doesn‟t acknowledge its possible use as a tool for urban development, thesis aims to redefine the concept of recreation so that it can be implemented in Serbian context. For that reason the research was organized on two levels. At the first level the integrative role of recreation was examined through research in urban theory and in the fields of psychology, sociology and geography of leisure. Integrative capacity of urban recreation was defined through concepts of leisure experience, encounter and practice and as such operationalized as fluid, focal and porous integrative practice. Different possibilities for activating integrative potential of urban recreation were identified for autonomous and integrated forms of urban recreation. The occurrence and spreading of the phenomena of integrated recreation is then explained and its integrative capacity explored through comparative analysis of eight concepts of development through recreation: „city of fun“, „fantasy city, „tourist city“, „experience city“, „city of play“, „healthy/active city“, „green city“ and „creative city“.

This paper involves an exploration of how architecture, landscape and construction spaces contribute in urban design by providing incentives for interaction and emergence of collaborative ventures during a large cultural development initiative. The paper contains an analysis of how spaces becomes boundary mechanisms facilitating the translation of a cultural vision. By elaborating on ‘boundary spaces’ to explain the materialization of an urban strategy we use a praxeological outlook as it is framed in the strategy-as-practice literature. When we more closely delves into how spaces can be set in motion and become generative platforms we use the notion of action nets. Methodologically, the paper investigates how such strivings are articulated, planned and implemented in a local context by using a narrative approach comprised by analyses of narrative infrastructures. By mediating different layers of interpretation, boundary spaces turn into artifacts exceeding strategic projections.

This graduation thesis researches the benefits of using natural wastewater purification as a spatial development strategy on a, still unexplored, large scale. Novi Sad functions as a case study for the theoretical & design reflection of the application of large scale wastewater purification by using natural techniques. The city is located in the Danube basin which has ecological problems due to direct urban wastewater discharge. The spatial and ecological benefits, compared to conventional purification plants, and the implementation in Novi Sad are addressed through the scales., Flowscapes, Landscape Architecture, Architecture

Hledání paralel vývoje urbanistické strategie rozvoje a revitalizace centra města v uplynulých 100 letech., The search for parallels in the advancement of urban strategies concerning development and revitalization of the city center during the last 100 years. Topical studying of Rozštlapil's concepts for the localities which have not been satisfyingly planned yet show a similarity to the situation in which the center of Brno found itself a hundred years ago. The construction activity in the historical parts does not have a clear and strong urban-planning concept. Only small parcels are dealt with, without any more profound relation to the territorial unit. Every construction intention in the city conservation areas is assessed anxiously, the important points of view for a global strategy of future development are still missing. Controversial interventions are carried out, contaminating the city forever. Unlike the generation of architects from the beginning of the 20th century, there is a lack of laws controlling the construction in city centers. A continual will of the city representation is absent and so is a vision of any type. Based on the presently available possibilities and needs, the students of the master degree program at FA VUT Brno are dealing with a parallel vision for a concept of construction in the city center. The content of a four-semester work called „Inventura stavění v městské památkové rezervaci“ is a verification and analysis of hidden reserves in the modern city structure. The indication of possibilities of architectural interventions into the historical structure of the center as well as the courage of Václav Rozštlapil's concepts may reach many, not only the architectonic public.
